Going, going, gone...
It's the end of an era. My TiVo went on ebay last night for £234.99 - that's more than I paid for it brand new 3 years ago (£210)! It has to work out as the best value bit of kit I've ever owned, and it's transformed TV for me. I could never go back to life before PVRs now, but although I am using an Inverto IDL-7000T as my main PVR now (twin Freeview tuners, 80gig hard drive - you can get them here), I do miss the convenience features of my TiVo (especially Season Passes), so I am going to build my own out of standard PC components, and try out Windows Media Center and MythTV on it. That project starts in a couple of weeks, once all the hardware is here!

How did you manage to get hold of the inverto PVR unit? I'm after one, but unbeatable lists the white model as out in June and the black one in may!

How's the home built PVR going? This is something I am really interested in, but most sites on the internet appear to be american and not uk.
